I assume if a person said he refused to use a diebold machine to vote with, he'd forfiet his vote. Or maybe a person could try an absentee ballot, but those are stolen and lost too by the corrupt. And then I suppose a person could demand a paper ballot with receipt.

Shouldn't a person have a choice? Or is it mandatory to use the diebold cheating machines? If we all know going into the booths that the votes are stacked, stolen and thrown out, what is the motivation for voting at all?

If close races can be stolen by machinery and trickery, are we doomed to vote impotently forever?

Can a landslide also be corrupted in this way? How the hell do we counteract the advent of the cheating machines?

We could very possibly lose November to republican machinery AGAIN but most folks don't seem to notice or care.

I want to see a revolt against the machines, or a revolt against something, anything.
